save Hollyburn for everyone

Dear Editor:

1 read with interest and some
amusenient the letter of S. Stastpy
{May 35, NSN) who claim: you
caa sec wilderness for mites and
mils: from the top oi the moun-
tains in Cypress Provincial Park
and, therefore, (1 assume she
means) we don’t need anymore
wilderness preserved in the park
itself.

Not only is much of this
wilderness she sees. inaccessible to
the average hiker or walker, but it

p'ans to put a downhill ski run on
the south flank of the mountain
cutting through old growth yellow
cedar and the Baden Powell Trail.

Contrary to her statement that
new trails are in areas that ‘‘are
only sparsely treed with no old
growth,” this area of Hollyburn is
actually covered in trees and is all
old growth.

Hollyburn is a beautiful moun-
tain with historic trails and old
cabins, alpine meadows and lakes,
and old growth forest. It is

wonderfully accessible to a large
population and its wilderness fla-
vor is sorely needed and appreci-
ated by growing numbers of peo-
ple.

I have nothing against downhill
skiers. | am one myself. But two
mountains out of three is enough
for any ski operator to have in a
provincial park.

Let’s save Hollyburn for
everyone else.
